Welcome to the most exciting sports experience you've ever encountered! Boxing is without a doubt the most rewarding and challenging sport available to youth today. The combination of athleticism, physical and mental conditioning, sportsmanship, and self worth that you will develop from boxing are unequalled in any other sport. Boxing will teach you to rely on yourself, to value the input of others, and most importantly to respect both your own skills and those of others. You will develop a level of self confidence that you will carry with you for the rest of your life. You will also find that this is one of the most challenging things that you will ever do. So, if you are looking for a challenging, mentally stimulating, physically demanding and just plain fun activity, then you found it ... BOXING!

Boxing is a contact sport and there is a risk of injury involved for anybody who participates.You will be required to box or spar on a regular basis.We are not a gym or a social club so if you just want to get fit or make friends a boxing club is not the place for you.A high level of fitness is required in boxing,so all our boxers are expected to train at least three times per week.
There are plenty of combat sports with little or no contact available throughout the county which may suit more so than boxing. BOXING DEMANDS A LOT OF DEDICATION!!
